if i activate my sim card on November 20th, does it mean that 30 days last from November 20th to December 20th?

@XiaofangLi Each new 30 days cycle starts from your payment date.

Yup. Your plan will expire on the evening of Dec ~~20th~~...19th You'll have to fund it or it'll Suspend for up to 90 days. After 90 days it's gone for good.

No. Your billing cycle is from Nov 20 to Dec 19. You have to count Nov 20 as first day.

I use 'Age and Date calculator' (Android) app and when not including time it gives me Dec 19. Manually counting it is correct if you count Nov 20 as first service date. Then Jan 18, Feb 17, Mar 19, etc.

@Yummy That's what I do, with the calendar on the phone, because it's a set it and forget it process. More people should use that feature. imo

@Quigley that is smart way to do. There are many very useful apps making your life easier. Phone are not only for games and gossip on unsocial networks. 😋 And of course making/receiving calls (hello spam!) and SMS.

If you activate today, that counts a full day used no matter what time the activation is done, even if it's at 11:59pm eastern time.

Build an excel program.

Format the cells in date format.

Cell A1 November 20, 2022

Cell A2 =a1+30

Cell A3 =a2 +30

copy cell A3 into cell A4 and paste downwards.

That's true to find the date of renewal, but to find the last paid for day, customers often forget to count the first day of each billing cycle as being a day of use.

@CountyDownIeUk

Good one. Your Excel will generate beginning of service cycle. Actual end of cycle will be beginning of next cycle - 1

B2 - billing cycle - 30 days - fixed value

A2 - manually entered start of service

B2 - =+A2+$B$1-1 - end of billing cycle

A3 - =+A2+$B$1

B3 - =+A3+$B$1-1, etc.

Copy A3 row as further as you want...

You can then build in column E starting on November 20 2022 and do +365. For five years or more if you are on points. Then copy and paste the 1 year dates beside the date in column B by the correct 30 day date to show what 30 day date that your anniversary reward will be collected.
